For hawking obstruction offences in the Tsimshatsui 'Golden Mile' a first offender's fine should not exceed $600; subsequent offences may attract fines up to $1,000 or higher for persistent recalcitrance; honesty about prior offences justifies modest reductions (e.g. to $800); charging should be consistent under the Hawker By-laws rather than using the Summary Offences Ordinance to obtain higher penalties.
